Nancy O’Dell: Busy Mama at Work

Nancy O’Dell seems to be everywhere these days! And with three-year-old Ashby and two stepsons – Tyler, 15, and Carson, 10 – in tow, she’s not planning on slowing down any time soon.

“I used to so not be a morning person,” Nancy says, while promoting the Morning Squeeze video contest sponsored by Florida Orange Juice. But, ever since becoming a mom, the TV host gets up at 5am to get things done before the kids get up. Sound familiar, anyone?

“Also, when you have a toddler and she’s ready to go to bed at 8 or 8:30 at night it’s like, ‘Time for me to go to bed too!’"

The former ‘Access Hollywood’ host is moving on to bigger and better. She is replacing legendary outgoing host of ‘Entertainment Tonight’ Mary Hart later this year.

But, her TV hosting duties don’t stop there! Nancy will also begin hosting ‘Your OWN Show: Oprah’s Search for the Next TV Star’, a reality competition on Oprah’s network OWN.

Make sure to watch out for Nancy’s upcoming gig – hosting Fox’s New Year’s Eve special.

“I’m like, ’2011 must be my year!’” she says. “I feel like the female Ryan Seacrest!”

We think Ryan Seacrest’s got nothing on her because she does it all while juggling a marriage and three kids!
